Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters from Dragonball Z/GT or any of the other shows/music that I mention.
A/N: I got the homework done and can now focus on the fic!!! This part is longer than the others because ideas just kept flowing and…anyways enjoy!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"No we don't call them. They haven't had a vacation in a long time and the last thing they need is for us to call them saying 'daddy come and destroy the Hooded Claw and midget man for us!' We need to take care of this ourselves." Goten said.
"I believe that your sarcasm has finally rubbed of on him Alley." Bra muttered.
"Okay then, Bra you go and get Trunks and tell him to find us by sensing our chi. Me and Goten will try and find him." Alley said.
"Oh no you don't. If anything you'll just get in the way. Bra has the upper advantage since she is stronger than you so you go and get Trunks." Goten ordered. Alley raised an eyebrow. She raised her chi and gathered up her energy for an attack.
"ATOM BUSTER!!" She shouted letting a beam of blue and white light smash through the wall Francis had left behind. "Grasshopper has very much strength but not very much brain."
"I'll go and get onii-chan." Bra said exiting the club.
"Well then, let's bounce." Alley said.
"I prefer to fly." Goten shot back coldly and flew off.
"Geez! Guy acts as if the world's his clam chowder." Alley said taking off after him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hahahahahahahahaaaa!! Pan is at last under my control. Weird thing is I fell some sort of twangy feeling inside of me. Francis you're used to these sort of things, what am I experiencing?" The figure asked.
"Well in my personal opinion it may be because the job is half done." Francis replied.
"I'm not sure I quite get you my old fruity!"
"Well Pan could easily be taken from you. Think about it her father and grandfather are both Super Saiya-Jins! So is her uncle and Mr Pansy. I think that you should have them destroyed so that they can't interfere with your plans sir."
"Hmm. I'm not sure that covers the twangy feeling but it'll have to do. I can sense two of them headed this way now."
"So are you going to use the old guilt trip trick again?"
"Of course! It's what I'm good at." The figure said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Goten! You don't even know where you're going!!"
"Oh and you do?"
"Yah huh!"
Goten stood to face her. "Well then? If you think you're all high and mighty please proceed!"
"Why the hell are you so mad at me?"
"Because you're a cold hearted bitch."
"I'm cold hearted?!! You're one to talk Mr Player!"
"I still have no idea what you're talking about!"
"Because your skull is thicker than the Hoover Dam!"
"I'm not stupid!"
"No you're just mentally challenged!" She replied sarcastically.
"Take that back!"
"Make me kusottare!" She shouted. Goten sighed.
"Listen Alley, this isn't going to get us very far. Why don't you just tell me what I've done wrong?"
"I've already told you! If you can't figure it out then I can't help you."
"I've already told you that I love you! What else can I do?"
"It's not enough to say something! You have to show it and I don't mean like that. It's has to come from the feelings that you're afraid to show. The feelings that you don't have for me."
"Don't talk like that!"
"Well it's true! I sometimes think you're only trying to fill a void. Let's be honest okay, I'm not the most beautiful person in the world! Heck, I don't even where make-up but that's cause I think it's evil! I hardly act like a normal 27-year-old woman! It seems to me that I'm your last resort because Gohan's married, Trunks is going to be with Pan and don't even argue with me on that one you knew ages ago. Which reminds me I owe Piccolo 50 bucks."
"I can't believe that you just said that. You know none of it's true. You came here to see me after all."
"Let's get one thing straight okay. I didn't come here to see you, I only came here because Trunks asked me."
"Why?"
"I owe him a favour."
"I still don't see why you don't believe me."
"Let's not forget who's the mind-reader out of the two of us Goten." Alley said flying off to The Figures hideout.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That's exactly what happened Trunks!" Bra said out of breath.
"Shimatta! I can't believe that bastard has got Panny!"
"Since when do you call her Panny?" Bra said smirking.
"I…shuddup."
"I knew it! You like Pan!"
"Like is understatement."
"Oooh! This is fab! But now I owe Piccolo 50 bucks. That Namek knows more than he's letting on!"
"Come on! We gotta get moving!" Trunks said.
"Right."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, I guess this is where he's hiding." Goten said looking at the tall Dracula-like building.
"Then let's go seek." They flew threw one of the open windows and wandered around the halls.
"Ya know he's got a nice hideout! For someone evil he sure has got style!" Alley commented. A lever stuck out of the wall above an oddly placed fireplace.
"Hmm. I wonder what this does." Goten said pulling on the lever. The ground let out beneath them and they fell down a shoot and landed in a room.
"Remind me to thank you for that G." Alley said rubbing her sore back. She looked up and saw that Trunks and Bra were already there.
"Hey! No fair! We should've been here before you!" Goten said.
"It doesn't matter as long as you're already here." The figure said revealing himself.
"Joe!" The gang shouted. He face faulted.
"My name is NOT Joe."
"I coulda sworn you said Joe!" Bra argued.
"Well that's not my name."
"You lied!" Goten cried.
"I'm sorry to break your heart but that's kinda what I do since I'm the villain of this predicament." He said sardonically.
"Where is Pan?" Trunks shouted.
"She is none of your concern right now."
"Oh ho I beg to differ." Trunks countered.
"You don't deserve her Pansy boy."
"What do you mean by that? I'm not pansy." Everyone face faulted.
"Pan is too good for you. After all the things you put her through I'm not surprised she hasn't killed her self."
"You're talking bullshit!" Goten yelled.
"Woah, woah, woah! Lemme get this straight! He wants Pan, Pan's under hypnosis, Trunks loves Pan, Pan loves Trunks and no one loves Joe…" Bra started.
"My name's NOT Joe!!"
"So everyone seems to be okay with this?? Did I miss something?!" Bra shouted a bit angrily.
"Calm down Bra. I wanna know who you are, what you're doing here and what the hell you've done with Pan!" Trunks shouted angrily.
"It's a long story. I was originally sent here to help people who weren't able to get in touch with their feelings. Then you guys came along. Trunks was always trapped inside his office working and acting like…"
"A fuddy duddy?" Bra and Alley asked.
"Yes! He was also oblivious to the fact that the most beautiful girl in the world loved him with her heart. Then there was Goten. He was unable to commit to anything and so I was sent to help you two. That's when I fell for Pan. It was unbearable to see her cry every time you got a new girlfriend or when you failed to notice if she got her hair done. I didn't think she, or anyone for that matter, deserved this hurt or the pain that you caused so I decided to take her away from all that."
"By hypnotising her and kidnapping her from her friends and family? Nice (!)" Alley commented.
"I don't remember doing those things to her!" Trunks said.
"Really? Well then let me show you." He said as he waved his hand and the scene around them changed. They were floating above Pan and she was in her bedroom crying.
"Oh Pan, what's the matter?" Bra said trying to run to her but ran into an invisible wall. "Ouch."
"She can't see or hear us. This was about 3 years ago. Do you remember when you went out with that girl Cheesy?" The Figure asked.
"Cheesy?! Cheesy?! You went out with a girl that has the same name as a mouse's favourite aroma? You must've been wasted!" Alley said laughing her head off.
"That's exactly what I thought when I saw Pan crying like this." The Figure replied. Pan picked up a guitar from under her bed and started playing.
"I'm sitting down here but hey you can't see me. Kinda invisible you don't sense my stay. Not really hiding, not like a shadow. But I'm sure I will join you for one day." She sang.
"Aw that's beautiful!" Alley said.
"How could you make my niece cry like that man?" Goten asked.
"I didn't!" Trunks said waving his arms frantically.
"…Wait a sec! Pan doesn't know how to play the guitar! This is complete bullshit." Bra shouted.
"How do you know? It may have been something she did as a hobby." The Figure replied.
"No Bra's right! That song didn't come out until last year! How could she have known about it two years in advance?" Goten asked.
"Um…she wrote it?" The Figure said pathetically.
"You'd think that since he's evil he could lie better." Trunks said. The Figure waved his hand and went to another scene.
"Okay I lied. But this scene is for real. If any of you can spot any flaws then I owe you a Coke!" The Figure was about to wave his hand again but Goten came up with a brilliant plan.
"Hey Joe!" Goten called out.
"I said my name isn't Joe! Shuddup!"
"Why don't you come down here and make me you sick, twisted, badly dressed, scar faced, weasel-brained, no talent loser who can't even pull a girl unless it's against her own will, cowardly bastard!" Goten shouted all in one breath.
"Woah! I gotta write that one down!" Trunks said awed.
"How dare you speak to me like that you insolent brat?" He roared.
"Easily since you're nothing much to be afraid of." Goten replied smugly.
"That guy sounds so much like me it's scary." Alley said.
"I will teach you a lesson you will never forget!!" The Figure screamed.
"Come on then," Goten shouted bending over and smacking his butt "here's you're target!" (A/N: Krillin did this when he was fighting Frieza. ^_~) The Figure started zooming around chasing Goten. **Alley, if you can hear me then tell Trunks to find Pan!**
"Oooh." Alley said putting her hand on her head.
"What? What is it?" Trunks asked.
"Goten wants you to go find Pan. That's why he's making this distraction." Alley replied a little shocked.
"How did ya know that?" Bra asked.
"Dunno. No-one else could speak to me telepathically unless they had telepathic powers." She explained. Without a second thought Trunks ran off in search of Pan.
"Now, let's see if we can help." Bra said rubbing her hands together before joining Goten.
"Oy, as usual, vey." Alley said also joining Goten.

On Hawaii airlines…
"Did anyone else just get the feeling that an impending doom is befalling our loved ones back home?" Goku asked.
"Goku! How many times have I told you not to drink the cocktails?? They make you go loopy!" Chi-Chi scolded.
"I hate to admit it but the woman is right. You're talking bull Kakarrot." Vegeta said, pissed that he was being disturbed from his meal.
"Okay but don't say I never told you so." Goku said mockingly.
"Remind me again why we have to fly on this stupid contraption!" Vegeta asked.
"Because I don't enjoy being flown thousands of miles by a man who thinks that it would be funny to drop me!" Bulma yelled.
"You and me both sister!" A woman yelled from the back of the plane. Everyone sweat dropped.
"We're landing in a couple of hours anyway. Then we'll know for sure." Chi-Chi said trying to change the subject.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In France…
"Vid honey. I have a really bad feeling about Pan. It's making me feel unsettled." Gohan said adjusting his glasses.
"Are you sure it wasn't the escargot?" Videl asked feeling his forehead.
"Food never makes me sick. Not even snails. I think we'd better get home and fast." Gohan said grabbing all his stuff plus his wife and flew back to Japan.
"Ho-ly!! Look kids, a flying man! Take lots of pictures!" A tourist shouted pointing at the sky. "What ever will they think of next?"
"If anyone touches my daughter they'll live to regret it!" Gohan hissed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trunks walked down the hallways trying to sense Pan's chi but for some reason he couldn't sense anything at all. He peeked into a room and there she was. Her hair was flowing down her back and she was wearing a gown that complimented her beauty. Trunks let out a silent 'wow' before entering the room. He spun her around and looked her straight in the eye.
"Wow, you look scary with no pupils." Trunks laughed but she had no expression. She was as white as a ghost, her skin was so cold that it sent shivers down Trunks' spine. "Pan are you okay? It's me Trunks."
"Apologies stranger for I do not know of this person who you seemed to have named after a brand of swimming costume." She replied monotonously. Trunks raised an eyebrow.
"Don't you remember me Pan? I know I've done a lot of things to upset you but I'm really sorry and there is something I have to tell you. Ai shiteru." Trunks said waiting for a reply. He looked into her eyes and saw her pupils flash back but they disappeared after a couple of seconds. Trunks realised that if he were to win her heart he would have to let out the feelings from his.
"I'm sorry sir. I love only one. Abner holds my love." Pan replied.
"HAHA! I thought his name was Joe! Pan you have to listen to me. I love you Pan with all my heart and I want you to understand that there has always been a bond between us. I guess I was too blind to see it before or maybe I was just waiting for you to grow up or maybe I was just scared of your dad. That man can be so frightening I don't even wanna go there! I remember this one time…the point is that I love you more than anything in the world and I would rather die today than let you end up with that guy. I know you feel the same way and I know that I haven't been totally fair with you but if you give me just one chance I will prove how much I love you. Ai shiteru Pan-chan for now and for ever." Trunks concluded holding back the tears. Pan's pupils flashed back and forth and finally returned.
"What the? Trunks? Where am I? What the hell am I doing wearing this garbage bag?" Pan screamed. "Trunks, did you just say what I think you said?"
"Yes my darling. I did." He said. She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a big kiss.
"I think I'm forgetting something." Trunks said.
"TRUNKS GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!!!" Goten screamed.
"Oh yeah, now I remember!" He said grabbing Pan and running back to the others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goten, Bra and Alley had been suspended up against the wall. They struggled hard to get free but they couldn't.
"Damnit!! Can't you think of anything original? All you do is pin us up against a wall so that we can't beat the living snot out of you!" Bra shouted, getting more frustrated.
"Yeah! You coward!" Alley shouted.
"Humph! You have some nerve calling me a coward!" Abner shouted. Trunks and Pan came running in. trunks saw that they were tied up and tried to run to help them.
"Trunks! You might not want to do that!" Bra shouted but Trunks had already run into the invisible force field.
"I think he's overdoing it with these force fields." Trunks muttered rubbing his head.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Alley asked ignoring Trunks.
"You are the real coward! You left your parents to die when you could have helped them so easily!" Abner said. Alley turned her face away from him. "I see I was right. Here you are fighting other people's battles when you couldn't even fight the one that really mattered." He said mockingly.
"Alley, is this true? Is that what really happened?" Goten asked but Alley just stayed silent and bowed her head down even further. Abner just laughed out loud until Alley screamed. She broke the force that was holding her back and lunged straight for Abner.
"H…how? It's impossible for someone to break that shield!" Abner protested.
"You talk bullshit about me and just expect me to hang around and take it?! Boy, you messed with the wrong person." She said, punching him in the jaw. This caused him to lose concentration and the barrier shields fell down. Trunks and Goten immediately started fighting Abner. He blocked their kicks and punches pretty well but he couldn't hold out for much longer with the two of them. Trunks dropkicked him in the jaw and Goten punched him in the stomach knocking the wind out of him.
"One thing is weird though. If we were fighting then how come no one else could sense our chi rising?" Pan wondered.
"Maybe it's because our parents are too far away." Bra said.
"But what about Piccolo, Krillin and the others? They would have felt something by now."
"You're right. He must have some sort of chi shield around the whole place. I mean I couldn't even sense you guys were in here when I got in." Alley said. Trunks laid down the final blow and stood over Abner.
"If you were sent here to help us then why did you inflect so much suffering?" Trunks asked.
"Only because I loved her." He laughed.
"Please!" The three girls shouted.
"You don't believe me?"
"Of course not!" Pan said.
"What do you take us for?" Alley asked.
"You didn't love Pan! You were only infatuated with her because you knew that she couldn't love you back. She was something that you couldn't have for the right reasons." Bra finished with all three girls nodding to show their agreement. Goten looked at Alley and realised that this was also true to him. **Is it true that I don't really love her? That she was right all along?** Goten thought to himself.
"Please! Like that idiot could really do anything without me!" A voice shouted from above.
"I know that voice!" Alley said. Francis came floating down to be face to face with Trunks. He spat in his face and sent him flying into the wall.
"Francis, what are you doing?" Abner asked.
"Shuddup you fool!" He replied kicking Abner in the stomach causing him to cough up blood. "You don't even deserve to be breathing!"
"Let me get this straight! You're the brains behind all this?" Goten asked helping Trunks up.
"That would be a nice way to put it but I was thinking more along the lines of genius." Francis replied.
"Oh! Cans open, worms everywhere!" Pan said.
"So this would be the part where you explain yourself." Alley said.
And this would be the part where I end part four. END ^______^
Aw damnit! That speech was too mushy for me! I'm getting too mushy! I need Fanta not Pepsi ^_*. Please leave a review, I have a rough idea of how I'm going to end this. To the Nik Nak mobile, away!!!
